Release: InData 3.6.1 for InDesign 2024-2026

This release adds update notifications and fixes an anchored container frame problem.

Update

To update, download and install the latest version from the product’s installation section.

Changes

  • Fixes a limitation introduced in the 3.0 release that caused anchored container frames in a prototype to produce a “this type of anchored item is not currently supported” error if used with a non-Pro license. With this change, container frames are once again duplicated verbatim, like a snapshot, when used with a non-Pro license, as they were prior to 3.0. (With a Pro license, they’re handled piecewise, like a group, where each contained object is duplicated independently.)

  • Supports Escaped String (ST_Xstring) character escapes of the form _xHHHH_ when importing directly from an Excel file.

  • Adds an application startup alert and a Download Newer Version menu item when a new version of InData becomes available. The alert is shown only once for any given release, while the menu item remains available until the plug-in is actually updated.

  • Actively fetches InData’s version status in the About dialog.
